Sources differ as to the time and place of the pretzel's origin. Many sources say it originated in southern Germany (where it remains very popular and is known as Brezn or Brezel in northern Germany); others say it comes from the ancient Rome or even Celtic times.
Within the Catholic church, Pretzels are regarded as having religious significance and are particularly associated with Lent.

pretzels are my favorite. I'll eat em one at a time. Put the bag away. Little while later. Here I am again in the pretzels. Keep them away from me. It's hard too stop eating them. Pop corn I like at the movies or watching a DVD. I'll eat 2 to 3 at a time. not much though. Chips... Lays are the best! I'll eat chip once every 3 mos or so. OMG there so good. Those I'll eat one at a time.

The pretzel was invented in the Middle Ages by an Italian monk who tried to inspire his students by rewarding them with baked treats like arms folded in prayer.

Many people helped invent the pretzel. The most famous one was called Ben Glocken. Most are made in factories with strange names.

"a monk living in France or northern Italy first created the knotted shape of a pretzel, even though this type of biscuit had been enjoyed by the Romans. The monk wanted to symbolize arms folded in prayer"

If it meant preserving the enjoyment of pretzels against, an evil oppression, would you transplant your brain into a robot body.
